IDW has been publishing Godzilla comics for more than a decade now, including many titles where the King of the Monsters grapples with some of their more famous foes, including the likes of King Ghidorah, Mothra, and Mechagodzilla. Recently we interviewed some of the creative team behind Godzilla Vs. America, which saw the Big G stomp all over the United States. All good stuff, but now IDW is stepping things up by several notches, first by extending its partnership with Toho International, Inc (the company that owns Godzilla) through to 2029, and by introducing a new shared universe that will launch this July.
The Kai-Sei era is a new series of connected comics "each one expertly designed to unleash completely different genres and tones for all kinds of fans," according to IDW. The term "Kai-Sei" refers to the radioactive energy that has suffused the Earth, leading to the rise of giant beasts such as Godzilla.
